NOTICES
Notice! Optune Treatment Kit is to be used with INE transducer arrays only.
Notice! Optune Treatment Kit and INE Transducer arrays will activate metal detectors.
Notice! You should use the Optune Treatment Kit for at least 18 hours a day to get
the best response to treatment. Using Optune Treatment Kit for less than 18 hours a
day lowers the chances that you will respond to treatment.
Notice! Do not stop using the Optune Treatment Kit even if you have used it less than
the recommended 18 hours per day. You should stop using the device only if your
doctor tells you to. Stopping treatment could lower the chances that you will respond
to treatment.
Notice! If you plan to be away from home for more than 2 hours, carry an extra
battery and/or the power supply with you in case the battery you are using runs out.
If you do not take a spare battery and/or the power supply you may have a break in
your treatment. Breaks in treatment may lower your chance to respond to treatment.
Notice! Batteries may weaken over time and need to be replaced. You will know this
has happened when the amount of time the device can run on a fully charged battery
begins to shorten. For example, if the low battery indicator lights up within only 1.5
hours from the start of treatment, replace the battery. If you do not have
replacement batteries when your batteries run out, you may have a break in your
treatment. Breaks in treatment may lower your chance to respond to treatment.
Notice! Do not block the device vents located on the front and bottom of the Optune
device. Blocking the vents may cause the device to overheat and operate the
notification signal, leading to a break in treatment. If this happens, unblock the vents,
wait 5 minutes and restart the device.
Notice! Do not block the battery charger vents located on the sides of the battery
chargers. Blocking the vents may cause the charger to overheat. This could prevent
your batteries from charging.
